Default Which train leaves Aldgate first?

I can absolutely guarantee that Met drivers do not close the doors
before the signal has changed, the fact is that apart from looking at
the screen on the top landing at Aldgate which should show the first
train to Baker Street that drivers have absolutely no idea which train
is going to get the green light first, the only thing that we can do is
make a PA.


And I get the impression that the driver

Agreed. One of the most irritating things about the latter is its position,
such that to view it from the bridge you have to either hang over the rail
at the end or go halfway down the staircase, in order to get a clear view.

It seems to be common practice in many parts of the Underground to put
PIS directly behind security cameras or way out signs. The mind
boggles.
